Hottest Girls from Game of Thrones: #8: Carice van Houten as Melisandre

Dangerous, mysterious, powerful, and oh so sexy: that’s about the only way to summarize Melisandre’s role in the show. This fiery, foxy lady is responsible for some of the show’s most jaw-dropping moments. Whether it’s giving birth to a shadow creature with the power to kill or seducing a young man to extract blood from his nether regions, Melisandre seems to be endlessly capable of performing creepy rituals with extremely effective results.

She’s played by the lovely Carice van Houten, who seems far too sweet to play the role of horrible Melisandre. One thing’s for sure, though: when Melisandre’s on the screen in her skin-tight red dress with the plunging neckline, it’s kind of hard to look away.
